Here is an update from James and Marie Long, MWBM missionaires in Honduras.

Dear Friends,

I apologize for not writing sooner, but a lot has happened since we got back. All of Marie's test came back negative. We praise the Lord for this and thank all of you for praying for her. There were two men saved while we were in the States. Jose and Elvis were saved one night while Brother Trent Horten was preaching. Brother Scott Spires bought us a van for the church. He and Brother Harold Floyd brought it down to us. We had twenty people in it Sunday night. Brother Scott had lost his passport in Guatemala, so he didn't get to leave when Brother Harold left. I took him to the American Embassy to get a new one on Monday. We left on Tuesday afternoon to take him to the airport in San Pedro Sula. It was dark by the time we got close to San Pedro and as we were going toward the airport, there was a semi setting in the road with his lights off. We didn't see it until it was to late. As soon as we seen it, we hit it. Brother Scott said,"Look out!" and leaned to the left and half the car went under the truck. It pushed the top back to the back of the front seat. If Scott had not leaned to the left, he would have been killed. He hit his face on something and was cut over his left eye. It took five sticthes. His face and nose were scratched really bad and it blacked both his eyes. Marie was in the back on the passengers side. Nothing was broken, but the seat belt really bruised her and there is some imflamation on her lungs. Her and Scott spent the night in the hospital. All I got was one little bruise on my arm. God is eternally good, but He sure did prove it to us again that night. The police said it was my fault and I had to pay a fine. The fault was I am an american in Honduras. It totaled the Blazer and we don't have a car. We have the van, but it was for the church. I still owe about $3,000.00 on the Blazer. The devil tried to kill Scott for helping missionaeies and us for being here preaching truth to these precious people, but he found out again that the heart of the king is still in the Lord's hand and He still turneth it whithersoever He will. Marie is still not feeling so good, but we are not discouraged. We are more sure that we are in the center of God's will for us. Please continue to pray for us that God will use us mightly. Please pray also that we can get another car. We love y'all. Jim and Marie Long

Here are a few pictures of the car.
